Deploying machine learning data pipelines and algorithms should not be a time-consuming or difficult task. MLeap allows data scientists and engineers to deploy machine learning pipelines from Spark and Scikit-learn to a portable format and execution engine.

Spark pipelines are not meant to be run outside of Spark. They require a DataFrame and therefore a SparkContext to run. These are expensive data structures and libraries to include in a project. With MLeap, there is no dependency on Spark to execute a pipeline. MLeap dependencies are lightweight and we use fast data structures to execute your ML pipelines.

Load and Transform Using MLeap

Because we export Spark and Scikit-learn pipelines to a standard format, we can use either our Spark-trained pipeline or our Scikit-learn pipeline from the previous steps to demonstrate usage of MLeap in this section. The choice is yours!
